If you did too - the package you assigned the bug to may be wrong as the canon ppd-file are proprietary, and that the ccpd-daemon is the cause of this error, not hal-cups-utils. I have not changed everything in the bug-header as I need to get this confirmed.

I have the same kind of trouble. What I am getting is that the ccpd-daemon crashes upon startup whenever the printer is turned off. Apport pops up and askes me to report. But fails to do so when opening Firefox...something about memory...

I simply need to start the daemon manually:

sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start

This works for me. It should be easy to fix this - simply add a Ifup-thingy - "check if printer is turned-on" - in the start of ccpd and exit and print to log that printer is not on or something. Or even better - add a deamon monitoring if the printer gets turned on later, and start the ccpd deamon.
